Patten gen eds? - cookderosa - 01-16-2016
My 11th grader is earning college credit through our local CC's dual enrollment and Study.com
Some point before summer, I need to decide which AA makes the most sense for him, and I'm leaning toward Patten.
*I don't think they'll allow him to enroll until he graduates, so I'm planning everything except the remaining 15 credits unless I can get them to make an exception, which is still a possibility*
That said, I'm having a hard time working with their gen ed list. I know folks are using SL, Study, CLEP, etc. to meet the gen eds, but do they have any flexibility or equivalency lists floating around? For instance, their film class is an ART credit, but what can I sub out- anything? Nothing?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

They are surprisingly flexible - you might be able to petition to get him in before he graduates. You might also be able to petition for alternate sources of credit.
Also, if you go on the Saylor site and then click around on the different ways to get college credit, Patten is listed on many of them. Go to the part that says recognition for credit. Earn College Credit | Saylor Academy

Thanks a bunch!
I'm seriously not finding Patten as a partner school or through the ACEP? What am I missing!?! LOL
EDIT: they are on the ACE and NCCRS lists...ughhh those lists are worthless.
BUT, I still sent them an email (and my phone number lol) I have lots of questions.

I thought they were. Maybe it's straighterline I'm thinking of... any who.... they are flexible. :/
Patten gen eds? - socsci - 01-17-2016
They are pretty flexible with certain courses. They gave me:
Sophia Visual Communications > Intro to Film
SL Environ Sci > Physical Sci
SL Cultural Anthro > Social Ethics
They won't accept ALEKS intro to stats for psych degrees, It has to be stats for behavioral sciences.
Straighterline covers a lot of Patten Gen Ed
For example:
Associate of Arts – General Studies
Concentration: Business
PSS100 Academic Strategies < Everyone has to take this
COM146 Communication > SL Intro to Comm
ART220 Introduction to Film > Sophia Visual Comm
ENG101A Reading and Composition > SL Eng 1
MTH115 College Algebra > ALEKS College Alg
PSY221 Psychology > SL or Sophia (Sophia is easier)
SOC230 Sociology > SL or Sophia
POL241 American Government > SL
ENG204 Interdisciplinary Reading, Writing, and Research > ?????
PSC152 Physical Science > SL
PHL263 Social Ethics > SL
PHL271 Philosophy > SL
HIS227 Ancient World History > ????????
PHY154 Physics I with Lab >

Thank you very much!
I hope to speak with them tomorrow or Tue and see if I can't pull out a bit more information about how to hit the gen eds. I'll post what I find.
